As some of you might know, I'm working on a reprint anthology for Tachyon with the subtitle: Two Decades of Modern Horror. I am NOT looking for stories--I've chosen most of them already and know what other authors are going to be in the book (it's unfortunately, not as LARGE a book as I'd need, to actually do justice to the subject)... and it covers 1984-2005.
The problem is, we need a strong, catchy, evocative, serious title. The one suggested by my publisher as a possibility I like but don't love --as it doesn't quite feel catchy enough:
Harbingers: Two Decades of Modern Horror.
So we're open to suggestions.

I swear, I read that as "Hat-bringers." I am very very tired....
My .02 is that you'll need a more evocative/ominous word, if you're going for a single word title.

But it would have been a catchy title.
